Employee Manual

The next logical step after recruiting is employee orientation. The main purpose of the Orientation programme is to answer the commonly asked questions by the newcomer/s. An employee manual can accomplish this task.

The main purpose of the manual is to communicate expectations between both parties in a easy-to-read form. Fewer the details in the manual, the better. The do's and don'ts should be stated so that there is enough room for management discretion.

A formal manual may not be necessary, but something in writing is necessary. The organisation should protect itself, by seeking legal advice on the language and contents of the employee reference manual, while instilling trust in employees by providing fair and consistent treatment.
